A speedboat carrying 27 Chinese tourists and four Thai crew members exploded in waters off the southern Thai province of Krabi on Sunday, killing one and seriously injuring five.

The boat, named King Poseidon, was on its way to the popular Phi Phi islands when its engine caught fire. The single fatality is believed to be a crew member.

Five seriously injured tourists are currently being treated in local hospitals, while 22 people who suffered minor injuries have been discharged and will return to China as planned. All 27 Chinese tourists are from Nanjing in eastern China’s Jiangsu Province.

The King Poseidon is believed to have caught fire near Viking Cave, a limestone tourist attraction located at the northwestern tip of Phi Phi, due to a fuel leak. The speedboat was less than a year old, according to reporters from Chinese news portal China News.

Each injured victim will receive up to 500,000 baht (US$15,665) in medical aid, reports Thai newspaper The Nation.

Buoys have been attached to the stricken vessel, which will be salvaged as part of the investigation. The exact cause of the explosion is still unknown.
